What: Research assistant needed for projects in the Departments of Biochemistry and Drug Discovery at MUSC. Projects involve chemical synthesis, enzyme kinetics, and microbiology. A strong background in chemistry / biochemistry is preferred, but a strong desire to learn may be a suitable substitute. This is currently an unpaid opportunity, but if the student remains on the project long-term and contributes significantly to its success, it will present opportunities for authorship on abstracts and in peer-reviewed publications. Please Contact: Jonathan Turner (MD PhD candidate at MUSC, turnerjm@musc.edu) for information.

What: Join the Pynx Media team, an international cohort of students and young people sharing their unique thoughts and perspectives on global events and news. We are looking for contributors who would be responsible for 2 article submissions per month in the categories of Analysis, Opinion, Lifestyle, Entertainment, and Technology.

What: The Eckert laboratory (eckertlab.org) is seeking students to assist with research on neural systems that support attention and intention in human subjects. Research activities will include the analysis of cognitive persistence and neuroimaging data for studies on age-related changes in speech recognition. Students will learn about the cognitive neuroscience of aging, age-related changes in hearing and speech recognition, and neuroimaging data collection and analysis.
